Newbie - Multiple Procedure question
TT
Arm Lift
Possible Thigh Lift
Possible Breast lift/aug
My ones that will absolutely happen are the TT and Arm lift, but am seriously considering the inner thigh and possible breast lift as well.
If I had to "give up" one procedure it would probably be the Breast lift/aug.
Thoughts? I'll be scheduling a consult in the next few months but am starting to do the research now.
thanks!

Hi Melissa!
I recently just had a TT and Arm Lift and let me just say that is enough to start with. Due to the nature of stomach muscle and the use of your arms not functional after the arm lift you need your legs. Most doctors will tell you that they will not perform all three of those surgeries together. You will need something to help you through the recovery of the tummy tuck. To me the pain was ok and I'm a wimp for pain. My arm left is ok but you can't move them to much either. So i would wait until after your six weeks before having the thigh lift done.
I'm going back in September to have my thigh lift done. I had both my arm lift and TT on April 19th of this year. I'm waiting for cheaper flights to go back to Santo Domingo where I had my surgeries and my doctor was great!
Thanks,
Lisha

I am having all of the procedures you mentioned, at one time, on June 15th. My surgeon says because I am small, the time to complete all 4 proceudres will still be under the 6-8 hour cut-off time. I will laso have full time care (mommy is coming to take care of me, lol). With these things in mind he is ok with all at once. Also, I got massive discounts for having them all done together. I will post some before and afters when I'm feeling up to it....11 more days to go!!!

I was wondering how things went with Dr. Sauceda. I am open to going to Mexico again. I have had nothing but good experiences so far with Dr. Aceves. I just got back from taking my mom down to him for VSG.
I would like to see what others have had do say about him and get some info on pricing. I am not sure how to find the info you were talking about. Can you help me on my research path?
Thanks so much,

Bear in mind that, if you have them all in one fell swoop, the post-op healing process can be more painful than having multiple procedures. In practical terms, that means to make sure you get your scrip for pain meds filled before you need them, preferably before you actually have the surgery, so you won't have to wait for a pharmacy to fill the scrip while you actually need it.
Have you thought about who or where you intend to do your plastics?
